They are pretty set at the 5 with Wendell and Goga

Not that Collier is better than Sexton, but it was nice seeing a guard who has more traditional PG vision/mindset. Collier isnt the best passer, but he does have good vision and foresight to set up passes with his actions. Dude cant shoot straight half the time, but I do like watching him. He's good enough that if there were two prospects on the board I felt similiarly about, and one was a PG, I would go with the non-PG if it was a true tie.
Jazz and Kings have started exploratory talks regarding John Collins
It just makes too much sense.

Buy low on Keegan Murray
I know there have been a few trade proposals discussed here with JC to SAC, can someone please summarize the possible trade packages?
I apologize for not paying closer attention to this until now.

Why would we want a first round from Magic if they have a young core that's gonna be good for a very long time? A pick locked somewhere in the 20s simply isn't enough for us to give up Sexton, especially given our own recent draft record
Are you aware of the concept of tanking? Asset management? Developing other players?
Incoming salary would be Lyles and Huerter. SAC probably sending seconds or a protected first. Huerter can then be rerouted (I think ORL is a good destination for example) and you could probably pick up a little bit more.
I imagine that the Kings would be somewhat interested in Svi/Juzang as well, so the Jazz could include them to push the return higher.
Says Warriors are interested in Collins too

We can tank with or without Sexton. OKC tanked with SGA on the team so I'm sure we can figure that out. We are currently 10-29 on the season with Sexton on the team so we are doing pretty well in that regard.
And we have tons of low quality picks from wolves/cavs already. How does adding one more bad pick to the fold help our rebuild? We now need valuable young players and high quality picks, not just any picks. We made that mistake with Ochai. Giving him up for a second round pick and now he's averaging 10ppg on 50/40 shooting split. Sexton is definitely worth more than just a late first rounder, especially when we still have more than one year of control.
And you mentioned asset management so I'm sure you understand the concept of depreciation? The more we have the less valuable they become. It's not like we can just go draft 3 or 4 rookies to the team every year. The last time I check we have 3 first round picks just for 2025 alone. At some point we have to put a stop and focus on the players we have, rather than selling them for more picks.
Sexton is not Shai. He's not worth keeping and he only has two years left on his contract.
Yes, we have a ton of picks. No, picks dont become less valuable the more you have. There are always a ton of teams who want picks and will pay for them. You can always package picks for other picks. You are being purposefully obtuse.
